Hi unknown artist

Lovely result on it ...as If I’d ask ? ....here’s your WIP https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/officer-of-the-24th-anglo-zulu-war.628392/

You should do another bust ...just saying

Not going sure ref the red edging on the dicing but saying that it appears on modern day Scots Guards dicing ( Thanks to Mick Ankim)

Thanks for solving the question

Nap

Cheers Malc ..hope to get really going on this in between hiding Easter Eggs !

Thank you Scotty ...a good point .....I spent a couple of hours looking at originals ...not one has the edging so as you rightly say there will be none
Where did you find that image if possible ?

Appreciate yr time

Nap

Hi folks

I love finding things like this ... but a nice CDV of a Sgt of 10th Hussars , the photograph method has made the yellow cap lines/cords look black

Another potential conversion

Hi Folks

Some quick piccys on the dicing .....still lots to do on each square , edges , highs etc ...it’s taking a lot ! .....but should be worth it ....after the headwear is done ...going to paint the 2 ribbons ...to retain my sanity !

All comments welcome as always

Happy benchtime

Finished fiddling in the dicing ...happy now ....only to find this rather nice piece in the GA !!!!.......dicing .....

Hi ya Melanie .....it’s coming on nicely once I’ve done the piping around the top I’ll post a piccy or 2

Appreciate you both looking in

Happy Easter to all

Nap

Must admit it looks a lot better after another couple of hours ...going to do ribbons and the goldwork on the peak before a pic ...yes I know I’m a tease ...lol

Thanks for looking in

Happy benchtime

Nap

Blimey that’s scary ......a keyboard and a pint ....or several in the same location of the famous bearded man ...

ENJOY ...there’s always tomorrow

Hi everyone

In-between hunting for Easter eggs ...none found ! ......here some update pics ( click on for larger images )

Dicing finished as is the red piping around cap , ribbons done

Work to do on peak , and paint the blue above the dicing and the intricate roundabout on top and the badge

...it’s coming along nicely

All comments very welcome , good or bad ideas also !

Have fun @ the bench

Nap

Thanks Nigel .......put the 2 ribbons on to add a bit of colour with what will be all that blue

Happy to say I have retained my slimline atheletic Figure thanks to the choccy eggs , working on top of forage now .....using your ideas .....it’s was a lot of messing around but I’m glad I’ve done this

Cheers Malc ...as for box art ...racking my head regarding artist ....Rather good one even then ......lol

Thanks for looking in

Happy benchtime
